Surveying and Grading.

ABERDEEN, OAK, June 3.-Grading
outfits are now on the edge of the city
waiting for the completion of the Aber-
deem, Bismarck q Northwestern right
of way through the city before grading
any further. w. l.. Richards, chief en-
gineer, is here now arranging for a
terminus, and if the iron can be OBJ
tanned it is thought by those that know
that at least thirty miles will be ironed
yet this season. Beyond doubt the
undertaking is a private enterprise,
supported mainly by Thomas Lowry, of
Minneapolis, and whether graded or not
will be very valuable piece of road.
there being no attempt by any other
road to run line in the same direction,
although few years hence it is safe to
say there will be three lines to Bis
marck from Central Dakota. Both the
Rock Island and Burlington roads
would like this grade, and it is hoped
by WatertOwn people that the Rock
Island will gain control, as this would
necessitate building the line to Water
town. Another party of engineers are
getting ready to leave on surveying
trip, and as the line north is SURVEYED.
it is supposed they are looking for
favorable route southeast to Water
town. f. *. Baldwin and several other
surveyors on this road will leave for
Sioux City, To-, where they will survey
a line for the Sioux City d Northeastern
road, new road to be constructed from
that city this season.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The name of
Hon. Bartlett Trip was presented to
the president before he left the city for
the vacant position of associate justice of
the supreme court. 1t was presented by a
gentleman resident here without either
the authority or the knowledge of Judge
Trip, and it is known that the presi-
dent received the suggestion in kindly
manner, thanking the gentleman who
approached him upon the subject, and
saying, substantially: while l am
bored by numerous officeSeekers and
their friends, it is always a pleasure to
me to know of good men, capable men,
who are not seeking preferment, but
letting their merits speak for them
selves. l know Judge Trip, and
am aware of his legal attachments,
great abilities and judicial integrity. l
had not thought of him in connection
with the supreme court at ALL" While
it is readily seen that there is nothing
committal in these words, nothing of as
Surance, it is fair to presume and predi-
cate from the well known penchant of
MIR. Cleveland for selecting unambitiOuS
men for preferment officially that Judge
Trips fitness for the position will now
be considered by the president in con-
nectiOn with others, when he comes to
study and decide that matter. 1t is also
fair to presume that Mr.. Cleveland will
not allow himself to be guided by sec
ton lines in his selection of an able and
SpOtleSS man for that exalted and hon
Orable office.

A SPLENDID OUTLOOK
For Crops in West Dakota This
Season.

Special to the Globe.
MANDAN, OAK, June SIN the minds
of some people this part of Dakota is an
experiment. They may be shown the
vast = the practically limitless = coal
fields, pointing conclusively to the fact
that this country was once covered with
luXuriant growth of trees, but their
reply will be that even were it proven
that in the far distant past the country
was vast forest, that fact will not help
out the crops of to-day. If the skeptics
are shown specimens of the grains that
have been grown here in the last year
or two they will without fail retort that
the crops were a miserable failure last
year. If the soil be shown to these
men-if the thousands of tons of buffalo
bones are pointed out, that lie strewn
all over the prairie-if the farmers
who have made good deal
of money during the short time
they have been here are intro
duced to them, they will have no good
response to make, but will indicate that
they are still skeptical. 1t is very
good rule to observe, to never prophecy
unless you know. Now if there is one
thing more than another that man
knows nothing about it is the crops
before they are garnered. But there
are indications which one may note and
draw conclusions from, and not be
fool for so doing. The great trouble
last year in the region lying between
the James river and the Montana line
on the Northern Pacific, was lack of
moisture. The ground started out in
early spring with less than the usual
complement of snow to melt and put
the ground into good condition for the
seed. But this year there is no trouble
OF this character. The snowfall was
unusually heavy last winter, and in this
part of the territory it melted
with remarkable SlOwneSs. thus securing
for the soil a maximum of the mOiS-
ture. A good start was thus secured for
seed. Warm rains in abundance fell at
just the proper time and these were fol-
lowed by warm weather. At about the
time that the critical agriculturist began
to say that the weather was trifle too
warm and that the grain would run UP
too rapidly, three or four days of cool
weather set in, and everybody had to
admit that that was exactly what was
needed. In few days, of course, it
was felt that we needed spell of warm
sun again, and sure enough we had it.
Everything seems to be conspiring to
insure the prosperity of the people of
West Dakota this year. Not only does
the tiller of the soil see just the kind of
weather he needs, but the StOck-groWer
is happy, too. The hills are covered
with most luXuriant growth of the
most nutritious buffalo grass, which the
cattle can get without money and with
out price.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Speaker Car
Isle has not only spoken, but he has
written to political friend and admirer
in this city expressing his belief that
the government should offer adequate
compensation to the evicted settlers of
the Crow Creek and Winnebago reserv-
atiOnS. This idea, not an evanescent
one by any means, will be placed in the
form of law as soon as congress con-
veneS and gets down to work next win
ter. Carlisle is not only great man
but a just man and wise leader. He
realizes that, although the opening of
the reservations by President Arthur
was unlawful, there were settlers who
honestly went there and expended their
little all upon the supposed faith and
honesty of the proclamation. But since
the present administration discovered
that the Arthur administration had been
in error, and ordered the lands closed,
it is realized that the settlers have suf-
fered and deserve government aid.
This is something which will not only
please those who are needy and heavy
laden, but it will close the trumpet
toned blarings of a partisan press,
which magnifieS the little ills that
political flesh is heir to.

Dakota Crops.

WATERFOWL, OAK, June S.-Inter.
viewing a number of farmers your corr
respondent learned the following statis-
tics of the crop outlook: To the north
and northwest of this city abundance Of
rain has fallen and the small grain is
some ten days or two weeks in advance
of last season and was never better ON
June 1. South of here the scarcity of
rain causes the farmers to look quite
blue. West, as far as Clark, there is
every reason to expect good crop.
The rains have generally been local
through this section of Dakota, but q
very fine rain fell last night that is re-
ported to have been general. Late sown
grain at one time bid fair to be failure,
but recent rains and cloudy cool weather
has crowded it forward. A large acre
age of corn has been planted east of
here and is looking well. The hay crop
never looked so good, and there will be-

ever. Economy of labor and supplies
has secured the extraordinary result of
working the mines at the low
cost of 1892 per ton, average of
three years. The operation yields net
profit of $2.27 per ton. These figures do
not talk very loud, perhaps, but multi
ply them by the average work per
stamp, 1000 tons per year, and that
product by the number of stamps, $50,

tinuance.
RESULTS OF BLACK HILLS MINING.
1t is estimated that these mines have
produced in nine years as much as S15,-
OOO,0OO. The Investment, as represented
by assessments, is 100000. The Home
stake mines have paid dividends to date
OF S3,S1S, $50. Each share, therefore, has
invested 81 80 and drawn out about $50
in dividends, The operations son the
slde'' have also paid, doubtless, but
or those no statistics are available. The
balance OF the S15,000,G GOO over dividends
mas gone =, for plant and operating ex-
penses. The owners have the property
clear, self-paid less 100000 invested;
1T can probably be depended on
to pay 10 per cent. on 100000 for
long time to come. l think so because
OF the large body of ore already eX-
plotted, and because of the uniformity
OF yield all the way down to the 700
foot level. Averaging the net returns
for five years, find that no years work
has given more than per cent. above
the average per ton, nor more than 4
per cent. below that average yield.
These results of intelligent, economical
mining in the Black Hills are full of en-
enlargement to men who have the capt.
IN in
with. But it is no place for a poor
mans mine, and it will take a long
time for mining companies stocked, as
most of them are, among the business
and labOring classes Of the Hills, to
acquire by assessments the capital,
much longer to secure the one-man
capacity, to attain the permanency of
success. Men are needed full as much
as money in such an undertaking.
